Brene Brown wrote, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light".
Depression diminishes that light within us and tells us we are not worthy. We feel broken. We believe it is in this brokenness that we can find strength, just as the Japanese art of Kintsugi does. We can find ways to work through depression, grief, and anxiety with courage and start to find what matters for you and work toward it together. We can help you find hope and meaning in your life again.
Kintsugi is an art form where the potter fills gold into the parts of a broken pot to transform its brokenness into beauty. We can find beauty in our imperfections. We believe in post-traumatic growth. We want to take your story and help you believe in yourself again. We can work together on a new perspective on your self-defeating story. We can create a safe space for you to talk about your feelings with no judgment. We will work through your feelings of hopelessness. We can give you strategies to cope when you feel overwhelmed. Our goal is to help you feel supported in your challenges. You can learn to work through your emotions. IWe can help you face your fears and difficult emotions.
We often question whether what we have experienced is enough to talk to someone. Surely, it seems like it can't be "Trauma." We want you to know that however big or small your trauma is, you are worthy of and deserve to find hope and healing.

Empowering You to Heal from Grief
"Grief IS LOve" Program
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is love with no place to go.”
What is a Creative Grief Practitioner?
I have been trained to work with you to make meaning of your grief. Often, when we can work through our emotions in a creative manner, we can heal from our grief.
Join with me in an expressive arts exploration of your grief and feel open and curious and make meaning of the death of a loved one.
